He comes to the national every year to try and find ones he doesn't have (like a couple maybe?). To begin with only 2 or 3 dealers might even have a scorer at their table - he has nearly all of them - it must be quite frustrating to collect but a single thing of which there are so few elements to the "set" and have a desire so strong as to go to an expensive show year after year and adding NOTHING. We joke about it. I have seen him there every year I've been to the national over the past 15+ years.............
It's a cool and under-appreciated segment of the hobby... Here are a few of mine (some extremely rare, some not so much...)

Sorry for the sideways pic... can't get the damned iPhone to fix it
